  • Probiotic-induced cytokine production, including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and interferons, has been linked to excessive immune reactions that can lead to autoimmune disorders or inflammation.

    “Recent studies have linked probiotic-induced cytokine production, such as interleukins IL-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor TNF-α, and interferons, to excessive immune reactions that can lead to autoimmune disorders or inflammation [12,86].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
